Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: February 21, 2009
Caption: Weir's Guns Overrun on July 2
Additional Description: Looking from the Vermont Monument to the west toward the Codori Farm (barn on the right). Battery C's guns were placed on the rise just south of the barn, covering the flank of the Federal III Corps line to the south. With no supporting infantry to their front, the battery was exposed when Wright's Confederate Brigade came across the Emmitsburg Pike (running left to right on the other side of the barn). The gunners were forced to abandon their guns. With the repulse of the Confederates, the guns were recaptured.
